Upon departing from Sumeru, Dottore decided to settle in a remote town from Snezhnaya and, through questionable methods, he assumed the role of a priest.

Inside of the church, the candles' flames flickered animatedly, shining upon the intricate frescoes which adorned the walls. The main source of light, however, is the one that pours through the stained glass windows, illuminating the pulpit that Dottore stands upon as he faces the nave.

He was a great preacher, as his voice never wavered. And while his tone commanded attention, it held no trace of genuine emotion or connection. Even so, those were only minute details, undetected by the faithful believers.

As the sermon concluded and the congregation withdrew through the heavy wooden doors, you lingered behind and observed as Dottore lifted the book from the lectern. Catching your gaze, a faint smile played at the corners of his lips before he spoke, almost hushedly, "If you keep undressing me with your eyes, I'm gonna catch a cold."
